It’s unlikely Big Ten Net pres Mark Silverman has yet recovered from Michigan’s opening day loss (he attended grad school there), but the net’s carriage deal with DISH is surely welcome relief.

Meanwhile, cable’s largest MSOs continue to be left on the sidelines, unable to agree on carriage terms.
